Chapter 233: Be High-profile!
Jiang Chenchen would never forget this scene.
The scars left by the inhumane experiences deep in her memory were being repaired, bit by bit, because of him. Whether it was in her heart or on her skin, things were gradually getting better.
This strengthened her determination for the future—to become a nurse who could heal others.
After the surgery, diligently applying the medication, her condition was truly improving bit by bit.
Two days before the start of the school year, Sheng Qinghua unexpectedly called Jiang Chenchen and invited her to have dinner at the old mansion that evening.
Jiang Chenchen fell silent for a moment. "Are you going to fulfill your promise?"
Sheng Qinghua, upon hearing this, sneered and said coldly, "But you haven't spent three days and three nights. It's one night short. There's no winner, so what promise is there to fulfill?"
"If it weren't for Ah Si' appearance, I could still survive."
"Are you mocking those security guards?"
"No, when I jumped from the 10th floor, the entire room of Imperial Capital socialites could have been used as my hostages. You wouldn't really trouble yourself with unnecessary problems just to kill me. If I endure for one more night, I can still pass the test."
Sheng Qinghua snorted and seemed to view her in a new light.
"As I expected, you appear inexperienced on the surface, but you're quite scheming inside. However, it's not good to be too naive in this world. I like smart people. Tonight, come to the old mansion for dinner, bring Mingsi along, and I won't stop you two anymore."
After saying that, she hung up.
Without giving any chance for rebuttal, she remained assertive.
Jiang Chenchen put down the phone, feeling a bit happy. Did this count as gaining recognition from Madam Sheng?
She immediately called Sheng Mingsi to share the news with him.
He was in a meeting, sitting in the conference room listening to the speakers. When he saw the incoming call on his phone, he expressionlessly reached out and answered it.
His secretary, An Ze, happened to catch a glimpse of the contact name, Chenchen.
Immediately enlightened.
No longer a poor student, huh!
He didn't know what the girl on the other side had said, but looking at Sheng Mingsi's face, which clearly revealed joy, it was truly rare to see such an expression on the usually cold and unapproachable President Sheng. Feeling the icy gazes directed at him, An Ze immediately snapped back to reality, shrinking a little and lowering his head, not daring to speculate recklessly.
However, Sheng Mingsi put down the phone and beckoned to him. An Ze quickly approached, and he whispered, "Prepare a set of the latest summer dresses and a bouquet of flowers."
An Ze immediately complied but couldn't help asking subconsciously, "Are you going on a date?"
The entire conference room suddenly fell silent.
All eyes turned to An Ze.
An Ze: !!! Oh no! His mouth couldn't be controlled! Will President Sheng fire him immediately!
Who knew, the person who usually appeared high and mighty, cold, and gloomy actually said, "Yes."
An Ze: !?!?!
Everyone else in the conference room: ?
Don't want to keep a low profile, want to be high-profile, huh?
...
Jiang Chenchen received the delivered dress and flowers, and at the same time, Sheng Mingsi sent a message.
"Wait for me to come home."
She placed the flowers down and tried on the dress, then replied to him, "How much do I owe you?"
Sheng Mingsi, leaning against the window, looking outside while sipping coffee, read the message and smirked, "You can never repay it in your lifetime."
As soon as he sent it out, he received a photo in return.
It was a picture of Jiang Chenchen wearing the dress. She had taken a picture in front of a full-length mirror, looking very beautiful. The dress outlined her figure perfectly.
His finger moved on the photo, looking at it for a long time, and then he replied with a few words.
"I bought the copyright for this photo, consider it as offsetting your debt."
"Is the copyright of a photo so expensive?"
"Because it's you."
"Then should I take a few more photos?"
"...Sure."
Couldn't ask for more.
However, Jiang Chenchen didn't send more photos. She received a phone call.
It was from Lu Su, someone she hadn't been in contact with for a long time.
Due to the previous incident where he almost attempted suicide and the pressure in the entertainment industry, he collapsed to the point where he couldn't face it anymore. After seeking help from a psychologist, he disappeared for a while, and no one saw him during that time.
Jiang Chenchen received a call from him, inviting her to meet in person.
She hesitated. If she went to meet Lu Su, she wouldn't have time to return for the dinner at the old mansion.
"Jiang Chenchen, Overlook Restaurant, I'll wait for you. Let me see you one last time."
She could hear the desolation in his voice and quickly asked, "Lu Su, what are you planning to do?"
"I just want to see you once, that's all."
"I'll come now. Can't you come now as well?"
"I can't come now. Let's meet at 8:30."
Lu Su hung up the phone.
Jiang Chenchen listened to the busy tone, feeling conflicted. The reaction from the other side didn't seem right. Would he repeat the same mistakes and do something harmful to himself again?
After several considerations, she felt a bit guilty. It was because of her that Zhan Chen suffered harm.
However, the dinner invitation from Madam Sheng was also essential, especially since Sheng Mingsi had prepared clothes and flowers for her, showing how much he valued her first visit to his home.
After thinking it over, Jiang Chenchen decided to inform Sheng Mingsi first. However, no one answered the phone on the other side.
Are they still in a meeting?
It should be almost time for the meeting to end?
Someone rang the doorbell outside. Jiang Chenchen immediately went downstairs to open the door, thinking it was Sheng Mingsi returning. However, outside the door stood Gu Mingmei.
She held many things in her hands, handed them all to Jiang Chenchen, and then bowed in apology.
This sudden appearance of the noble sister surprised Jiang Chenchen.
"What's wrong, Sister Mingmei?"
Gu Mingmei spoke solemnly, "I'm sorry, Chenchen. I lied to Ah Si on the cruise, almost causing a big mistake. I didn't expect the danger you faced on the ship. It could have cost you your life! It's my fault. I thought too simplistically."
"It's not your fault. Actually, thinking back now, Madam Sheng didn't really want to kill me. There were times when she could have put me in a life-threatening situation, but she didn't. She just wanted to scare me away."
For example, during the dinner where she fainted in her room after eating. She slept for four hours during that time, and dealing with her would have been easy.
However, Gu Mingmei still felt guilty. "Regardless, it wasn't a good experience. Consider these things I brought as compensation for you. You must accept them."
Jiang Chenchen declined, saying, "No need, really. I haven't worn those from before."
Gu Mingmei: Didn't she receive various bold and revealing uniforms before?
Well, she was still too innocent.
"It's not about that. It's just some dresses and accessories. Consider it a gift from an older sister to her younger brother's girlfriend. Can you accept it?"
Jiang Chenchen was stunned for a moment and muttered, "Girlfriend?"
"Oh, is this the first time I've seen you blush? Has As not confessed and asked you to be his girlfriend yet?" Gu Mingmei placed the gift bags on the hallway cabinet, carefully observing Jiang Chenchen's face.
